I bought this texturizer twice. The first time it was fantastic - you just emulsify it a bit by rubbing in your hands, you can shape, you can get volumn, it looked and felt great. The second time, it was a like a different product - too dry, unpleasant odor, too heavy on the hair. So - I guess it depends on which version you get! I am hoping the second time was a fluke, and the first Vo's was the real deal.
